(p - 5)(2p - 5), in the first option

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The Problem:

Which are the factors of 2p² - 15p + 25 = ?

  • (p - 5)(2p - 5)
  • (p - 5)(2p + 5)
  • (p + 5)(2p - 5)
  • (2p - 15)(p + 5)

The Process:

The problem we have this time is how to solve factoring a quadratic equation.

First Way

2p² - 15p + 25 = 2p² - 10p - 5p + 25

                       = 2p(p - 5) - 5(p - 5)

                       = (2p - 5)(p - 5) or (p - 5)(2p - 5)

Recall this: \boxed{ \ a(p + q) + b(p + q) \rightleftharpoons (a + b)(p + q) \ }

Second Way

Allow me to introduce the "temporary quadratic" method. This is a unique way! Look carefully below.

2p² - 15p + 25 ⇒ multiply 2 as the coefficient of the p² term with 25 as a constant.

2 x 25 = 50.

Then, find two factors of 50 which if added are -15 as the coefficients of the term p.

We get the following: - 5 x - 10 = 50, i.e., -5 and -10.

Both are positioned in factor brackets. Simultaneously we place the term of 2p in both brackets as a sum operation with both factors. This is properly the uniqueness of this method!

2p² - 15p + 25 = "(2p - 10)(2p - 5)"

Because we call it the "temporary quadratic" method, simplify the factors in parentheses if it can still be done.

Thus, we get 2p² - 15p + 25 = (p - 5)(2p - 5), i.e. the two terms of (2p - 10) divided by 2.

Third Way

Let us check one by one of the answer options available.

(p - 5)(2p - 5)  = p(2p - 5) - 5(2p - 5)

                      = 2p² - 5p - 10p + 25

                      = 2p² - 15p + 25 (yes, this is correct)

(p - 5)(2p + 5)  = p(2p - 5) - 5(2p + 5)

                      = 2p² - 5p - 10p - 25

                      = 2p² - 15p - 25

(p + 5)(2p - 5)  = p(2p - 5) + 5(2p - 5)

                      = 2p² - 5p + 10p + 25

                      = 2p² + 5p + 25

(2p - 15)(p + 5) = 2p(p + 5) - 15(p + 5)

                      = 2p² + 10p - 15p - 75

                      = 2p² - 5p - 75

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Take a look at this example:

3m² - 10m - 8 = ?

  • = 3m² - 12m + 2m - 8
  • = 3m(m - 4) + 2(m - 4)
  • This becomes (3m + 2)(m - 4)

3m² - 10m - 8 = ?

  • 3 x (-8) = -24
  • -24 = 2 x (-12), because 2 + (-12) = -10
  • 3m² - 10m - 8 = "(3m + 2)(3m - 12)"
  • This becomes (3m + 2)(m - 4)

Notes:

\boxed{ \ ax^2 + bx + c = 0, \ \ \ \ \ a \neq 0 \ } is a quadratic equation in standard form.

  • x is a variable  
  • a, b, and c are real number coefficients
  • the only c is called a constant (no variables)

Methods of solving quadratic equations include:

  • Factoring and using the zero product property:
  • Using the square root property: \boxed{ \ x^2 = a, \ then \ x = \pm \sqrt{a} \ }
  • Completing the square: \boxed{ \ x^2 + bx + \bigg({\frac{b}{2}} \bigg)^2 = \bigg( x + \frac{b}{2} \bigg)^2 \ }
  • Using the quadratic formula: \boxed{ \ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \ }

Which number is not a member of the solution set of the inequality 4x ≥ 18
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

4 (4.4) ≥ 18 does not make sense. 4 x 4.4 = 17.6, which is not more than or equal to 18.

Show that d^2y/dx^2=-2x/y^5, if x^3 + y^3=1
aalyn [17]

Answer:

y³ + x³ = 1

First, differentiate the first time, term by term:

{3y^{2}.\frac{dy}{dx} + 3x^{2}} = 0 \\\\{3y^{2}.\frac{dy}{dx} = -3x^{2}} \\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-3x^{2}}{3y^{2}} \\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-x^{2}}{y^{2}}

↑ we'll substitute this later (4th step onwards)

Differentiate the second time:

3y^{2}.\frac{dy}{dx} + 3x^{2} = 0 \\\\3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} + 6y(\frac{dy}{dx})^{2} + 6x = 0 \\\\3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} + 6y(\frac{dy}{dx})^{2} = - 6x \\\\3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} + 6y(\frac{-x^{2} }{y^{2} })^{2} = - 6x \\\\3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} + 6y(\frac{x^{4} }{y^{4} }) = - 6x \\\\3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} + \frac{6x^{4} }{y^{3} } = - 6x \\\\3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} = - 6x - \frac{6x^{4} }{y^{3} } \\\\

3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} =  - \frac{- 6xy^{3} - 6x^{4} }{y^{3}} \\\\\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} =  - \frac{- 6xy^{3} - 6x^{4} }{3y^{2}. y^{3}} \\\\\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} =  - \frac{- 2xy^{3} - 2x^{4} }{y^{5}} \\\\\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} =  - \frac{-2x (y^{3} + x^{3})}{y^{5}} \\\\\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} =  - \frac{-2x (1)}{y^{5}} \\\\\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} =  - \frac{-2x}{y^{5}}
